Trump is off-target here. It is not that the wind is blowing. It is what the wind is carrying with it.


Nobody cares that Trump is tweeting. It is more about what he is tweeting. Those tweets about Morning Joe were stupid. They were not clever, or funny, or defending himself. Those tweets were pure stupidity.


Trump can tweet all he wants to. Nobody is arguing about that. But he needs to have at least one other person looking at what he is posting, especially if his post has to do with legal issues or national security or, in this case, deeply personal attacks against people who were once his good friends.


I do not apply this policy specifically to Trump. If I myself am about to post something and I have even the slightest reservations or doubts about it, I simply wait. Wait an hour or a few hours, reread the post, and I ask myself, 'Do you really want to post this?' If I can enforce this simple prudent rule to myself, how much more should it apply to the freakin' President of the United States of America?


Trump needs to stop posting in the middle of the night. His twitter addiction is affecting not just him, but all of us and the whole country as well.

If Trump wants tweet when he has free time.. Have at it. Not during the middle night.
